Do you live in Minnesota and smoke? You may be helping to fund the construction of the NFL’s newest project, the Minnesota Vikings’ $977 million stadium.

The Star Tribune reported on Friday that Minnesota governor Mark Dayton introduced a new revenue proposal that would more than double the tax on cigarettes from $1.23 per pack to $2.83 per pack by July 1. The state is currently on the hook for $348 million of stadium costs and revenue from electronic gambling games, the original source intended to cover that tab, has come in far short of original projections.

Revenue Commissioner Myron Frans noted that raising the tax on cigarettes would bring in an added $24.5 million in the first year and would replenish the stadium’s reserve fund and cover any current shortfalls.

The plan, which would also close a corporate ‘tax avoidance loophole,’ was accepted in principle by legislative leaders in charge of drafting the tax bill by Monday at midnight. However, it does have its detractors with Republican legislators attacking it as a funnel from schools, nursing homes and health and human services, which normally receive those funds, leaving taxpayers on the hook.

Vikings Vice President Lester Bagley was encouraged that the state would be honoring its commitment, calling the new plan “a viable, long-term solution to the electronic-pulltab shortfall.”

On top of the cigarette tax, the proposal also called on closing a corporate “tax avoidance loophole” slated to net $20 million per year. Intended as a backup source of funding, it would increase corporate taxes for companies with sales inside and out of Minnesota.
